I could have asked the other day for you. The fee to get in to Uluru now is $25 per person for a 3 day pass.
If you go West East you dont pay a fee when you enter the park but do need a 3 day permit to cross the desert - maybe that covers the park fee as well? I didnt ask how much that permit was.

Curtin Springs has free camping, and 8 powered sites. 80km form the park for those who want to just do a day trip.

Diesel - Erldunda - $1.98, Curtin $2.16, Yulara $2.10

Yes you do have to pay entry fee , it last's for three days (when we were there ) Plus c/ van park fees.

I believe the permit for the road is free from the aboriginal centre in alice, I think you will need a second permit to travel the wa side also. If you have the permit you are not required to pay the park entrance fee. At least that's how I was treated in 2009. I pre arranged all my permits online well before my planned trip

 That makes sense re 2 permits. The people I spoke to had come from WA and had that permit, but just came through Uluru park free as there is no-one checking at the west border.

We did it in 2010 west to east and got permits at the visitor centre in Laverton and I am pretty sure they were free for both WA and NT.
they only give you three days to cross so all a bit rushed.

cheers

Thanks every one for all the info.

I've been to the rock a couple of times and don't want to go there again...
